With 50 days to go, preparations for the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul are in full swing at various levels of government, society and industry, organizers said Sunday.
The two-day summit from March 26-27 is expected to draw more than 50 heads of state and international organizations to the South Korean capital for the country’s largest-ever international conference. The event is aimed at holding discussions over measures to prevent nuclear terrorism as well as nuclear safety in the wake of the radioactive disaster in Fukushima last year.
U.S. President Barack Obama launched the inaugural meeting in Washington in 2010. About 4,000 more people are expected to attend the gathering this year, bringing the total number of participants in Seoul to over 10,000, organizers said.
